Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mel Gough loves writing about love – but with a twist. Nominated for the 2019 Selfies Awards, her bisexual romantic suspense novel He is Mine is a typical Mel Gough story. She needs her HEA fix, but on the way there will be thorns and fire, and sometimes brimstone. All right, that might be over the top, especially since her stories are firmly based in the real world - though not always in the here and now.

Born in Germany, exploring other realities has been Mel’s siren call since she was young. Books opened up a plethora of worlds, and soon gave her a strong love of the English language. After an MA in Anthropology, field work in the middle of nowhere seemed like one adventure too far, so Mel settled in London, which, to misquote Dr. Johnson, she will never tire of.

Mel loves to bend genres – her romances are gritty and dark, and sometimes there’s a dead body. She’s been told that her prose is beautiful yet disturbingly real. She’s curious about bygone times, and hopes to speculate about the future in one of her next books.

She was once asked “How to tell you're in a Mel Gough novel”

- You were either sick or in an accident, or you’re caring for someone who was

- You're bisexual (or your partner is)

- Your partner has unusual eyes (probably grey)

- Life sucks a lot, but then you meet someone, and things get better

    Life is looking up for Donnie and Ben. A new apartment for the couple, a new job for Ben and their new love blossoming with the changes. Especially when sad circumstances lead to an adorable baby boy, Zac, landing in their arms. 

    Raising a baby is hard and starts to take a toll. And it starts to seem that certain parts of their past doesn't want to lay to rest. Ben and Donnie are going to have to fight hard to keep thier sweet little family together. 

    A New Life by Mel Gough is the second book in the Loving Again series. It continues the love story of Ben and Donnie from book one, A Wotld Apart. So many feels.... these guys need a happily ever after with that adorable baby! Sweet moments, action scenes, drama... and an adorable baby, this book was a great addition to their story. I cant wait to see what comes next in the series. 

    I received an advanced reader's copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review and recommendation.

    I absolutely loved this second installment in Ben and Donnie's story (A World Apart is book one and really should be read first). This is one hell of an emotional read; from laughter to tears, the author used Ben and Donnie to put me through the emotional wringer and I loved every minute of it. I am so looking forward to book 3.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019
    The story continues with Donnie and Ben, only now it’s a couple of months later and things are settling in with them quite well. They’ve got a new place together, Ben’s got a new job, Ben and his ex are getting along, and he gets to see his daughter, though she doesn’t have much page time in this one either. He’s very much a sometimes dad to her, which sucked in my opinion, because in this one, he and Donnie get a baby and he’s all kinds of a dad to him!

    Okay, so I’ll explain. A woman at the shelter Donnie works for is staying there with her baby, and once Arthur (love him) helps her find a job, the baby, Zac, stays in the daycare with Donnie. He forms a quick bond with him, wanting to protect him from the life he knows they live. He’s familiar with it, having lived it himself as a child and he wanted to protect him. He's also positive, like Donnie, so it seemed to just kind of bond them in a way that was easy and genuine and really sweet, though very sad...He’s good to the core like that, Donnie is. I really grew to like him a lot in this one.

    I also liked the realness of the stress and sleepless nights and irrational frustration with people, when they’re only trying to help. Having a new baby around is stressful and I like that things were portrayed the way they would be in real life. Although, some things still irked me….. DCFS, would not take the word of someone saying their a baby’s real father without a blood test to confirm, especially going so far as to show up at a foster carers house without warning and take the child from their carer. There are guidelines and protocol’s that have to be met; the dad would have to have several meetings with the baby, his house to be inspected, paperwork galore and it wouldn’t happen in 10 minutes… more like weeks. Also.. why in the world were Ben and Donnie trying to give a 6-month-old baby, tea? I can’t be the only one who noticed that.

    And seriously? I have never, in my life, called a boyfriend “buddy” unless he was in trouble and I needed him to hear my words before someone got hurt… i.e. him…. “listen up, bud.”…. but as far as endearments go…. Buddy is a terrible one. I hope that gets fixed for the next book, which I’m not sure I’m looking forward to if it’s called “A Broken Promise”… I think Donnie’s had enough brokenness in his life, he doesn’t need more and I’m not sure I can handle any more for him.

    Also, prepare for random flashbacks that make a little bit of sense in the end, but otherwise were just random, confusing and there is on page sex with someone other than the boyfriend. Some don’t like that… I didn’t mind it because it eventually made sense… kind of. But warning, it’s there.

    You’ll also see the word “summat” a few times, if anyone knows what that means, please let me know.
    So, in this one, there are more hospital visits, (seriously, they should rent a wing, they’re all there so much), we meet new friends, there’s a new baby (and you all should know by now how I feel bad hot dads), ever patient boyfriends (Ben), loving daddy’s (Donnie) and a cute HFN. I suspect we’ll see more from these three in the future.

    Donnie met Zac as an infant at the Daycare center. After Zac lost his Mom, Ben arranged for them to become foster parents. Donnie continues to have issues with his past and with his health but his love for Zac (and Ben) seem to outweigh the bad times.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 🌟 rounded up.
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019
    This is a continuation of the story of Ben and Donnie. As with the first book, there is a lot of angst, but the story is sweet.

    Donnie and Ben are adjusting to their new apartment and Ben's new job pretty well. Donnie is still working at the daycare at the community center, but is still struggling with his insecurities. Arthur, the center's director, and friend to both MCs, is still working to help the homeless and addicts find their way back to a better life. He brings a young addict with an HIV positive baby to the center to arrange for her AA meetings and daycare for Zac while she works at the job he has helped her find.

    A bond forms immediately between Donnie and Zac, and when tragedy strikes, Ben is his normal understanding self, and has Donnie bring the baby home for the night. The bonds grow, and Donnie begins to feel the stirrings of hope.

    Now, throughout this book are flashbacks of a part of Donnie's life that that eventually lead to a better understanding of what is going on in his mind with regards to his insecurities.

    Ben plays more of a supporting role in this book than the last. Although he is involved throughout the story, and especially during the action and climax, he kind of takes a back seat to Donnie and his role in the book. Donnie's past comes back with dangerous consequences, but the MCs, although not together, both work to save the family they have built.

    Overall, the story was very sweet and a nice afternoon read. I really hope that in the future Donnie begins to stop listening to ideas and harsh words from his past and starts seeing the man who needs him just as badly standing right in front of him.

    Happy reading!

    OMG! How much more can this couple and especially Donnie endure. I loved it. So much emotion, insecurity, past issues coming into play. Can't wait for next book.
